Talking The Mercedes-Benz Diesel Forums are BACK!

Well... after a long period where the forums were down (due to hosting difficulties), the forums are back up and running again. Unfortunately all of the information contained in the old forums was lost, so we're starting from scratch again.

In case you're unfamiliar with the forums, the site is a community based around past and present Mercedes cars with diesel engines, similar to www.tdiclub.com (Volkswagen TDI site).

Anyway, here's the direct link to the forums... http://208.56.243.39/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

This will be the URL until the domain name gets transfered over to the new hosting company.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation,
Lawson Earl

It is a very slow site. I wonder what kind of connection that server has or maybe the server is very under powered.

Cool site speed

Yeah, I know it's pretty slow right now. I think part of the reason is because all of the pages still need to be cached in the server and on your computer. Unfortunately UBB (the forum software) is pretty slow when you first start it up, but it gets faster as time goes on (a few days).

I'm also going to call my hosting company and see if there's anything they can do to speed things up.

Thanks for the note,
Lawson

Arrow site speed & domain name

Quick update... the site is running much faster now, up to par with MercedesShop and other internet forums.

As far as the domain name goes (mb-diesel-cars), it should be linked to the forums in the next day or so.

Thanks for your support everyone.
